8 Post Office Square, Te Aro-Wellington Central, Wellington City

Post Office Square - SkyBlues

There is no longer a Post Office here but there is this Bill Culbert Sculpture, best seen at night.

He has written: "In daylight the neons are against a blue sky, fragile glass blue lines with fine steel supporting structures. Night time will make the artwork vibrate in a different way with the strong vertical movement of electric light at full power. The writing hand moves vertically up and down in space always changing to the moving viewer. Dawn and dusk the blue neon will be ever changing as with rain, winds and clouds. SkyBlues is light energy, the verticals and drawn lines that move, shimmer, swirl blue in cityscape."

This is one of many Wellington Sculptures erected by the Sculpture Trust.

Also in the square is a connection to Corsica on the other side of the world through a French Telecom call box. This is mirrored in Corsica with a New Zealand box.
